Businesses can benefit a lot from implementing a VoIP solution. However, without proper management and IT support for VoIP, you may see a negative impact on your productivity. You’ll experience limited communication from both customers and employees, especially members of your staff who are working remotely.

Many small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) turn to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) as their telephony solution. VoIP allows them to make calls either through traditional desk phones (hardphones) or software-based phones (softphones). Find out the pros and cons of both phone options so you can decide which one fits your business best.

Many businesses still rely heavily on landline telephones as the first point of contact with their customers. But thanks to technological advances that combine the best of traditional telephony and digital connectivity, businesses can now enjoy a more affordable and more reliable option: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones.

Eavesdropping is a form of cyberattack that has been around for years. Cybercriminals have been listening in on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone calls since the technique was proven to be effective in obtaining valuable information, and they are showing no signs of stopping their malicious activities anytime soon.

Keeping in touch with people through mobile devices has become cheaper than using traditional phone lines, so it's not surprising to see more businesses taking advantage of these affordable and versatile communication methods. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services are a popular alternative to regular phone calls and have become a necessity for many organizations.

Companies looking for an approachable, affordable, and reliable upgrade to business processes are turning to unified communications (UC) to improve their information systems. UC is cheaper than ever to deploy, and its simplicity attracts business leaders formerly reluctant to adopt new technologies.

The cloud is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about technologies today and for good reason. Migrating your business’s critical functions, such as your unified communications (UC) systems, to the cloud can improve your company’s agility, efficiency, security, and resiliency.

As with any communication that takes place over the internet, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls have a raft of security risks. One of these is theft of service. Read on to learn more about this type of VoIP-related fraud, and how you can protect your organization against it.

Silence during a phone call is often taken as a sign that the call was dropped. There’s no use staying on the line, so people hang up. It’s therefore no wonder that a CNN survey found that among Americans who are put on hold in silence, 70% of them hang up within 60 seconds.
